How to Fix Bootloop — HTC Magic

⏱ ~5 min📋 6 steps

The HTC Magic is a 2009 Android 1.6 smartphone powered by the Qualcomm MSM7200A with 288MB and 288MB | 512MB internal storage. It features a 3.2", TFT, 65K colors, 320.0x480.0 display and is available in White, Black.

The Magic is equipped with a Removable Li-Ion 1340 mAh battery, a 15 MP, 320p@15fps main camera. The device uses a Mini-SIM configuration. It weighs 118.5 g.

A bootloop on the HTC Magic occurs when the device repeatedly restarts without fully loading Android. This is commonly caused by a failed software update, corrupted system files, or an incompatible app. Most bootloops can be resolved without losing data by clearing the cache partition first before attempting a factory reset.

Factory reset may be needed as a last resort — erases all data.

1

On your HTC Magic: force restart: hold Power for 15–30 seconds

2

If still looping: enter Recovery Mode

3

Navigate to 'Wipe cache partition' → confirm → reboot

4

If still looping: return to Recovery

5

Select 'Wipe data/factory reset' → confirm (erases all data)

6

Last resort: use your manufacturer's PC tool to reinstall firmware
